Looking great! +rep!

[Sephiroth_VII]

Niiiiiiice! Never had a chance to play NG, so I can't wait. +rep!

I'm on a +rep-spree today, lol!! This is the 7th or something...

[³¹¹]

You know what pisses me off is that this game is going to be very similar to the one on Xbox. I played that game, beat it a few times, very good game. But like fuck, I don't want to play it again on the PS3. I want a new game, a new adventure.

Booooo!

[Sephiroth_VII]

I'm happy that they decided to port NG1, instead of making a new game. If they hadn't done this, it'd be very hard for people with no xbox to follow the plot, IMO.

[NeoPlayStation]

I played NG 3 times: normal, hard and very hard. And Sigma looks a lot better.

[VideoGame mania]

Wow,it is only the beginning of PS3 gen the lighting makes a huge difference.
It's funny to hear from x fanboys that NG:S is NG port,because they are damn wrong.+Rep

What plot? Was there an actual story to this game? C'mon now, let's be serious, no one played this game for the "story". No one plays ANY Itagaki game for a story to begin with.

Whether it's Ninja Gaiden 2, 3, or 100, it wouldn't matter. The story would still be shallow, convoluted nonsense.

Just marvel at the pretty colors children, and leave it at that.

Sigma is a new game with an old storyline. So it's kind of a port, but not really...

Og well, everything is relative, and E=MC^2 is... I'm confusing myself...

Anyway, it's not really a port... Kind of...

I've never played the game, so I don't know;).

[Viano]

next spring many games will be out eh

[curryking1]

You know what really pisses me off. It's that NG:S is a port of the Xbox version with the same engine basically so ya it looks pretty impressive visually, but it looks almost as good, as good, and if neither, better than DMC4!! I HATE THAT!

STUPID CAPCOM! F*** YOU! I LOVED DMC1! IT WAS A FRIKCING MASTERPIECE! WTF ARE U DOING!

[Kiosko]

I'm only use to the Classic Ninja Gaidens so this should be a refreshing change.

[Viano]

the first, the most original

LoL @ Kiosko well with XNA out there you can be the one to bring back the glory days of 2D.... I'm doing the same.

I played the first Ninja Gaiden on Master System, a decent game.

I think you'll need to take a closer look to both games, I don't really see how NGS looks that much better. They are very different games anyway.

[VideoGame mania]

ok, it is time to put an end to this.NGS is the remake,it looks way better than NG

notice the complete lack of shadows in the above post?

[³¹¹]

NG on Xbox was my first NG game ever. So I was new to the series and what the storyline was. From what I've read, and maybe someone can correct me, NG:Sigma is essentially the same game with a few differences. I personally don't see enough positives or attractive aspects of this game to warrant a purchase.

Now I'm not bashing Team Ninja, NG was a great game and was a wicked challenge. But why can't they go into a new direction and expand from a game that they have already made? Instead of going back and just putting in some tweaks? Come on...

the whole 'plot' of the game can be included in a one-line sentence.

Segma is much of a port as is FF3 on DS. it is practically the same game, with totally new graphics, effects, lighting, physics, etc. plus new weapons, new playable character...the works.

also, this game is meant for the new NG players, those who missed out in Black and wanted another go at it and the NG die-hards. as for those who played it and had their fill of it, there is nothing to see here.

some interested may give it a rental and see if the spark is big enough for a purchase. but no matter how you look at it, Segma is a fantastic addition to the PS3 library, and Hell as it is coming out with in the coming months. 2007 keeps looking fatter and fatter. I feel we'll start using the Playstation's famous quote very soon on PS3 which is; "next year just can not be as big as this year!" ;)

[9thPower]

great find :) very well done indeed, sir! looks great, it seems the graphics improved over the TGS build. Really good. The PS3 is definitely the king for action titles like DMC4, Heavenly Sword, AC and GoW. "It just keeps getting better and better" Dante... Lol... :uhh: :eek2: ...... :troutslap

[nemesis121]

I just beat NG:black on very hard, will try master Ninja soon, the game is rather easy if you know what you doing, PS3 fans are in for a treat.

No no man.. I just mean... this is next gen. DMC4 shouldn't be comparable to a NG port. Like HS, HS looks quite a bit better than NGS considering how much stuff can be going on with all the physics and whatnot. I just don't think Capcom is trying to make a next gen game with DMC4, just trying to make another PS2 DMC basically with some moderately high def graphics.

Like.. Motorstorm it looks next gen, HS, it looks next gen, FF XIII, it looks next gen. DMC4 just looks like a PS2 game @ 1080p with sharper textures and models (I know that's a bit critical, it's more than that, but that's how I feel about what Capcom is doing with DMC4). If DMC looked like Capcom target renders, I'd be thinking much differently.

[9thPower]

hey Curry you forgot Lair! (blasphemy!!!) :P hehe J/k, but yeah in therms of graphics DMC4 is normal, but still above average, at least it doesn't look plastic like SC:DA... the art in the game is good, but i preferred the 3rd one, more darker, it felt better for me. but they will certainly improve the graphics, you can bet on that, it still have a year until its released, so no worries, DMC4 will be a great game, and until then, for action/adventure gamers, they will have HS, NGS and god of war 2 to be happy with until DMC4 arrives.

And it's good that Sony has two of it's own Action franchises in the works for PS3 (Heavenly Sword, God of War 3) and that Sigma is being made from the ground up for PS3-so if Capcom just wants to test the waters on DMC4-then they'll be put to shame by other games and that'll force them to knuckle up! No worries at all here fellas...

Have you played NG: Black? Trust me, it will most definitely be worth it to play NG again with the coming of Sigma.

Itagaki is really taking the NG series in the route of Virtua Fighter in that he wants to perfect the basic mechanics of his previous title before moving on to the next. Look at Virtua Fighter 4. It went through several revisions (final tuned never made it to the US).

The game itself will seem completely different anyways as it will have better enemy AI, a retweaked Ryu, Rachael as a playable character, new weapons, new enemies, and rearranged/tougher boss fights.

Be careful now, I said basically the same thing when the first shots of it came out and i got -repped for not agreeing with a DMC fanboi.

[curryking1]

No worries at all here fellas...

I agree, I bet God of War will be plenty technically amazing, being internal and all. They are probably required to make some sort of engine or customize another engine to take advantage of the PS3.

@Punk em - Lol! Ya whatever, I don't really care too much for the rep system anyways. I just have fun posting on this board. I'd kick the person in the teeth who did it though, not because of the rep lost, just because it represents something very rude lol.

EDIT: I just saw some pics of DMC4 that were pretty impressive on IGN. But I still think it could be done a quite a bit better.

http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/743/743971/devil-may-cry-4-20061103004321549.jpg

It's like the three next gen Capcom titles look exactly the same. I don't think they are looking very much to exploit any hardware to their ability. Like DMC1, that was some serious PS2 power pushing right there. I take it back though, DMC4 looks pretty impressive. But I feel for the character and stuff, I'm pretty sure with the PS3 they could manage that character model from the target vid Capcom showed, with all the hair flying about.

[Logan Cano]

Yeah, but remember, Capcom is much more financially minded this time around. All their next gen games use that shared engine and care very little about exploiting the machines, it's a lot cheaper that way. They try to focus on creating good animations since they hope that'll cover the obvious weaknesses. For a good example, take a look at the horribly low poly Lost Planet, the game looks shitty at times.

DMC4 can look pretty good, but in most screenshots it's just plain.

[frosty]

Interesting... I always thought lost planet looked really good... maybe I haven't seen the same parts of it that you have.

[Applefiend]

Lots of screens. In fact I'd call it... A screenageddon.

[Nights]

Thought I'd post some better pictures.

Note: Nevermind! Plus rep to both who got these before me.

[VG Aficionado]

Are we forgetting DMC4 runs at 60 fps with 4xAA? ;)

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/ninjagaidensigma/screenindex.html?page=1

Lots of screens. In fact I'd call it... A screenageddon.Not long ago, many 1080 screenshots were released, and I'm afraid most, if not all of them, are there. Don't mind to see them again though.

[curryking1]

Interesting... I always thought lost planet looked really good... maybe I haven't seen the same parts of it that you have.

Ya... hmmmm... not about Lost Planet... I always thought that game looked wicked, I think it looks ten times better than Gears of War, I would've thought that Xbox fans would tout it more as something to really display the 360's power. I've seen a lot of vids for it too, and it's seems a lot more, at least to me, entertaining than GeoW.

Hmmmm these DMC4 shots I've just looked at are making me change my view... They are certainly high res, and seems that the characters are very detailed, and so are the backgrounds too. Looks very nice actually. I think the only thing I can complain about to a good extent is that his hair isn't the freeflowing thing we saw in the target trailer, and his face doesn't seem as realistic (like it's too smooth and whatever).

I think DMC4 looks pretty good though. I'm not even sure anymore about it now. I think it looks at least quite a bit better than just a port in NG S though now, for whatever that's worth.

But not to hate too much on NG S. It does look pretty damn amazing for a port of a last gen game. I would say it's basically like DOA4 and what those guys did with that. Same engine, but visuals spruced up like mad.

Agreed. I think Gears is lacking in certain areas, that's frame rate and draw distance. Lost Planet is just all good baby. I've always thought it wss a PS3 launch game that got lost along the way. I think Gears may suffer from over ambition.

Lost Planet just looks better, it may even play better, we'll see.

[Ravster]

Woah, Lost Planet looks pretty cool.

[Nameless]

^^I can't agree with the Lost Planet VS GOW comparisons...
I own GOW and played the Lost Planet demo and Gears looks significantly better IMO. I recently viewed some trailers and footage of Lost Planet that looked amazing, but the demo did not match the visuals of the trailers. Perhaps the game has improved since the demo was released. I have to give the graphics crown to GOW until I actually PLAY a game that has superior visuals. Peace

[gogogow]

Wow, Ninja Gaiden looks really good, although somewhat lacking in the textures department. They've really pumped a lot of polygons in this port. I Like it, it NICE!

About GOW vs. Lost Planet. Technically GOW is far superior, I don't think any game out there will beat GOW for some time, lots of shader effects, normalmaps are everywhere. Lost Planet almost doesn't use any shader effects, some glossmaps in the cave. But the explosions with radio-blur looks very good. Artistically Lost Planet might win though.

I think Applefiend and Nameless are posting in the wrong board :huh:

The field of depth effect, AA & clarity is amazing! :shocked:
Let's all hope the final product on screen is on this level or better...
I can't wait to play this game for a third time!

Also, the Rachel model is amazing if the hair physics in the pics are real-time that's bananas... Peace

Just imagining this game in high-def has me drooling.

[Marjoh]

So which are the original releases/size: IGN or GameSpot? Because the screens from GameSpot looks sharper and better.

^ They look like the orignal Ninja Gaiden Sigma trailer if you ask me...
The graphics from day one of this game being showed to the public was very impressive. Team Ninja always delivers on the visuals and gameplay regarding Ninja Gaiden and I'm sure they won't dissapoint on the PS3.
